Player of the GameCharvez Davis had one of his best performances in an Alabama uniform with a career-high 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field and a near perfect 5-of-6 from three-point range. Three of his five three-pointers came in a one-minute span as he connected on three-straight possessions for the Tide. While a career-high in points, it was actually the fourth time he has hit five three-pointers in a game during his two seasons at the Capstone.

Davis accounted for all but one of the Crimson Tide's three-pointers in the game and the rest of the Tide only shot 42.3 percent from the field on the evening. Taking into account the additional value of the three-point shot, Davis posted an effective field goal percentage of 95.5 percent, the second highest effective field goal percentage by an SEC player this season.

Play of the GameAfter grabbing a long defensive rebound, Trevor Releford brought the ball up the floor and found a wide open Tony Mitchell along the baseline with 1:40 left in the opening half. A defensive lapse left a clear lane to the basket and Mitchell elevated, cocked the ball well behind his head and emphatically finished with his team-high 21st dunk of the season. The play came at the tail end of an 11-0 UA run that helped UA take a 35-21 halftime lead.

Turning Point of the GameAlabama opened up the second half by extending its lead to 18 points but saw that whittled down to eight with less than 12 minutes to play. At the 9:30 mark Charvez Davis put an end to any Bison comeback hopes with back-to-back-to-back daggers as he connected on three straight three-pointers in a span of a minute to give UA a 19-point lead. All three game from the same approximate spot on the arc as Ben Eblen found him open twice with the other helper coming from Charles Hankerson, Jr.

"It felt automatic," Davis said of the spurt. "It felt like I was shooting into the ocean. Anytime I get going like that, I feel like I just can't be stopped. But I give all the credit to my teammates. They do a good job of finding me. They and my coaches are all encouraging me."

Stat of the GameWhile Alabama's offense got into a rhythm, it was the defense that quietly stole the show as it held Lipscomb to a season-low 51 points. The Bisons came into the game averaging 85.6 points per game and had even averaged 63 points per game against ranked North Carolina and Baylor squads. Additionally, the Bisons shot a season-low 28.8 percent, well below their season average of 47.5 percent.

"It was hard for us to score baskets," Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson said. "You have to give Alabama credit. They did a great job defensively and really understood who was doing what on our team. I did not think we competed the way we typically compete."

Top LineupAlabama was able to use all 12 active players in the win and put together 20 different five-man lineups with nine outscoring the Bisons and six playing them even. The most productive lineup consisted of JaMychal Green, Tony Mitchell, Trevor Releford, Charvez Davis and Charles Hankerson, Jr. The quintet played a game-high 10:50 together and outscored Lipscomb by nine, 24-15.
